Lipid disorders include things like high cholesterol and high triglycerides. Lipid disorders are frequently associated with insulin resistance syndrome and complications of obesity and elevated BMI. Our team is led by pediatricians and a nurse practitioner with additional training in lipid disorders and obesity in children. The team also includes nurses, dietitians, office staff and medical assistants who are trained in helping patients and their families with obesity concerns.

conditions we treat:

high cholesterol

high triglycerides

Triglycerides store energy until the body needs it. If the body holds on to too many triglycerides, blood vessels can get clogged and cause health problems. If your child’s care provider suspects high triglycerides they will order a blood test.

insulin resistance syndrome

Insulin resistance syndrome is a prediabetic condition involving high triglycerides, high blood pressure, obesity and high fasting insulin level. If your child’s care provider suspects insulin resistance they will order a blood test.
